desertcart.com: The Official Study Guide for ALL SAT Subject Tests, 2nd Edition: 9780874479751: The College Board: Books Review: Comprehensive and Informative - It has one section and practice test for every SAT II. If you know which subject tests you are taking,then this is not the book for you. It just runs down some basics and some practice problems before giving the full exam. This book is ideal if you are undecided on which subject tests to take. If you don't know if you would get a better score on Biology or Chemistry, then take two hours to take both tests, and find out which would be better. Also an awesome aspect of the book is that it has all of the raw score to scaled score conversions. This really helps in knowing how many you have to get right to get a good score. Review: Good - This book contains a fairly decent amount of info about the tests. It includes one test for each of the subject tests, I needed this book last year for my SAT World History subject test. It helped me review questions that I never studied back in history class so this book was a good resource in practicing the subject tests. I highly recommend people to buy study guides for specific subject tests since this book only has limited material for each subject. Other than that, I still recommend people this book because it is informative and gives you insight on what the tests will be like.

Not Sure
If your child is only going to take one test then get a more specific book. This book deals with all the subjects so it's a waste if your kid is only doing one or two. Plus, there's only ONE test per subject. They definitely have good information in this about taking subject tests, but again, if you're not taking more than two, you may want to supplement with another book in addition to this one.

My son felt that it was pretty good value for the money
My son felt that it was pretty good value for the money. The tests are accurate in that they are coming from the College Board people who administer the test. You can get other tests online just to be safe.

Good but with lacks.
If you are about to buy this book you need to know that it's not a book for studying or reviewing for any subject test you are taking, this book is only for practice. For every subject test this guide tells you what the test is about in a few words, how many questions does it has and it contains practice tests for every subject, if what you want is to have a review of what is coming on the test, I recommend you buy a barrons or kaplan book on the subject you want.

Has ALL of the SAT subject tests in one book. Don't bother with individual SAT subject test books
I bought this book as well as the SAT subject test in mathematics level I and 2 The Official SAT Subject Tests in Mathematics Levels 1 & 2 Study Guide and this book had exactly the same tests (Math 1 & 2) with explanations as are in the SINGLE subject test books so it's better to buy this one than buying individual subject test books. Same with US History!

Great Support
My daughter was bent on taking an SAT subject test and we are so proud of her. We really wanted to help her out with the process. She really appreciated having this and the extra support it gave. She has now received an amazing scholarship so maybe this helped, right? Thank you College Board.

Only gives ONE practice test per topic, but this is the only official set, so it's sort of a must-have despite that...
PROS: 1. It's the official one, so you kind of have to use it, right? (there are also practice questions on their website, but that's an incomplete test, so this is the only place to get a full-length, official practice test) 2. All of the questions are definitely the "right" level of hardness... CONS: 1. There's only ONE practice test for each topic, which means that it really doesn't give you a lot of questions to practice 2. It hasn't been updated in a few years -- that's a bit of a problem because AP tests have changed drastically, and there's a lot of confusion about whether the SAT subject tests have/will change accordingly (for example, you don't have to memorize colors for the AP tests any more, and it's not clear whether that will change for the SAT (since they're both CollegeBoard). It's great if you're going to be taking multiple subject tests, otherwise, you'll feel as though you just spent a ton of money for ONE practice test, which is a bit unfortunate.
